Bolivia, today. After walking for a week, Elder and his miner companions arrive in La Paz to demand for the reinstatement of their job. Suddenly, Elder starts to feel sick... With the help of the elderly Mamá Pancha, Elder and his friends find work at the market. But Elder’s condition worsens - he is struggling to breathe. Mamá Pancha sends him to Max - a witch doctor, hermit and clown - who may be able to bring the young man back to life.

"I wanted to make a symphony of the city. Talking about the city always leads us to think about the system, the collectivity and its relationships. El Gran Movimiento is an exploration of this relationship between the individual and the multitude. The film wants to give an account of the way this system functions."
